Sure, updating the 7.0 version to include the .pc file for readline is a fine approach to fixing this problem, but I dont think I would consider this a low priority issue. There are 37 non-ubuntu service accounts watching this bug, so it seems to have significant impact. Add to that the fact that, without this update, any package being developed that use readline won't be able to compile with automake on the 18.04 ubuntu release. It should be an easy and very safe (to use the SRU term) to fix this.
